How do you set the alpha of a color???

[michael1789]

All the examples I can find use "Surface". This is from Stack overflow:

s = pygame.Surface((1000,750))  # the size of your rect
s.set_alpha(128)                # alpha level
s.fill((255,255,255))           # this fills the entire surface
windowSurface.blit(s, (0,0))    # (0,0) are the top-left coordinates

or,

s = pygame.Surface((1000,750), pygame.SRCALPHA)   # per-pixel alpha
s.fill((255,255,255,128))                         # notice the alpha value in the color
windowSurface.blit(s, (0,0))
